After decades of struggle, we are finally free! The imperialists have been forced out! Now, we only must come together and decide how to run our new country!

Democracy is a political game about creating a new government after an era of prolonged subjugation at the hands of an imperial power. This run of the game will be set in a fictionalized Eastern Europe roughly reflecting the Soviet withdrawal from Eastern Europe in 1989.

The game itself consists of three long phases: (1) Convention, where a new constitution and electoral map must be agreed upon; (2) Elections, where the constitution and electoral maps are implemented; and (3) New Government, where those who one the elections get to pilot a course for the new nation.

Democracy aims to be the platonic ideal of a coalition-building political megagame with a heavy emphasis on player negotiation. Note – this a megagame premiere and may lack the polish & refinement of other megagames.
